Thoughtful Design. Modern Web Development. Inspired Content.

We design and build human-centered digital products for individuals, companies, and organizations trying to present their most authentic selves. Based in Seattle, our team specializes in interdisciplinary design, full stack web development, and custom crafted content.

We thrive at the intersection of digital & physical.

Emerald Seven is a boutique, integrative design & web development studio based in the Old Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. We’re a highly collaborative crew that learns out in the open. We never take a project at face value.

Considering your design challenge in terms of the whole, we strive to create elegant and thoughtful solutions, whether they be digital, physical, or a hybrid of the two.

Interdisciplinary Design

Our team is trained to solve problems holistically, designing for digital, physical, and hybrid applications using an integrative design process.

Full Stack Web Development

Our award-winning design & development team is unique in that we not only can geek out over the technical specs, but we can also hold our own with a room full of designers.

Custom Crafted Content

Whether it’s through the written word, through visual storytelling, or through the combined forces of both, we craft tailored content to help you get your message seen and heard through all the noise.

Our Design, Development, and Content Services

Our agile creative studio based in Seattle offers services in interdisciplinary design, modern web development, and custom-crafted content. We love to work in both digital and physical media, and can help you strategize how to best leverage your web presence and print collateral to meet your needs.

Our Integrative Design Process

We use an integrative design process to consider your design challenge in terms of the whole, iterating through cycles to reach thoughtful solutions, whether they be digital, physical, or a hybrid of both.
